Los Frailes (The Friars) is one of the most beautiful beaches in Ecuador and lies within the Machalilla National Park. It is a series of three beaches in a crescent shape with cliffs on each side and beautiful clear water.

Agua Blanca is a privileged community also within the borders of the park that claims the status of the last Indian capital. There is an interesting archaeological museum with artifacts from pre-Incan times and a sulphur pool that many believe has healing properties.
